Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 .
  • DE 10 2009 033 494 A1 has disclosed a vehicle seat of the generic type which has a seat shell and two rail pairs which run parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction.
  • the seat shell can be rotated about a vertical pivot axis. Said rotation is achieved by virtue of the fact that the two top rails of the rail pairs which are provided for longitudinal adjustment can be displaced relative to one another.
  • a vehicle seat of this type is preferably equipped with two electric motors for driving the two top rails.
  • a vehicle seat of this type can also be actuated manually.
  • each of the top rails has a locking device which can be unlocked separately.
  • the seat shell of the vehicle seat can then be rotated about the pivot axis, as a result of which ingress and egress are facilitated.
  • the vehicle seat can be displaced in the longitudinal direction.
  • the invention is based on the problem of improving a vehicle seat of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • a main memory apparatus is provided on the top rail which is arranged on the sill side.
  • Memory apparatuses of this type are also used, for example, in three-door vehicles in order to ensure the easy entry function.
  • Said main memory apparatus stores a previously set longitudinal position of the sill-side top rail and prevents said top rail from being displaced toward the rear, that is to say counter to the driving direction, beyond the stored longitudinal position.
  • at least one spring unit is provided which loads the tunnel-side top rail in the longitudinal direction relative to the sill-side top rail.
  • the tunnel-side top rail can be displaced toward the front, that is to say in the driving direction, relative to the sill-side top rail by way of simultaneous unlocking of both locking devices, the main memory apparatus preventing a displacement of the sill-side top rail toward the rear.
  • the seat shell experiences a rotation about the vertical pivot axis.
  • the sill-side top rail is displaced relative to the tunnel-side top rail, and the rotational movement of the seat shell is therefore assisted by the force of the spring unit.
  • the seat shell moves away from disruptive body parts, for example a B pillar of the motor vehicle, and moves closer to the door opening. In this position which is denoted as the egress position, ingress and egress are facilitated yet further. If the seat shell is subsequently displaced back toward the rear, the main memory apparatus ensures that the sill-side top rail comes to a standstill in the previously stored longitudinal position. If the seat shell is then rotated back again, the vehicle seat is situated in the originally set driving position again.
  • disruptive body parts for example a B pillar of the motor vehicle
  • the spring unit is arranged directly between the first top rail and the sill-side top rail.
  • an additional memory apparatus is provided on the tunnel-side top rail.
  • Said additional memory apparatus on the tunnel-side rail prevents, in particular in the case of the rotation of the seat shell mentioned above, a movement of the tunnel-side top rail toward the rear beyond the stored longitudinal position and therefore facilitates finding of the original driving position, in which the top rails are situated at the same level, that is to say without offset with respect to one another, in the longitudinal direction.
  • the two memory apparatuses are preferably activated at the same time, in particular during a rotation of the seat shell about the vertically running pivot axis.
  • the spring unit which is preferably arranged between the two top rails preferably loads the tunnel-side top rail in the driving direction relative to the sill-side top rail.
  • the spring unit which is preferably configured as a gas pressure spring can advantageously be blocked. In the case of a blocked spring unit, unintended rotation of the seat shell during a pure longitudinal setting of the vehicle seat is prevented.
  • a bracket rests on the top rails, which bracket is mounted on the sill-side top rail such that it can be rotated about a vertically running rotational axis.
  • the seat shell is preferably mounted on the bracket.
  • the rotational axis, about which the bracket can be rotated, is preferably aligned with the pivot axis, about which the seat shell can be rotated.
  • the spring unit is arranged between the tunnel-side top rail and the bracket.
  • the spring unit comprises, for example, a compression spring or a tension spring which loads the bracket relative to the tunnel-side top rail.
  • the spring unit is arranged between the sill-side top rail and the bracket.
  • the spring unit comprises, for example, a torsion spring which is wound around the rotational axis of the bracket and loads the bracket relative to the sill-side top rail.

  • a first top rail 16 is guided movably in the first bottom rail 10 .
  • a second top rail 18 is likewise guided movably in the second bottom rail 12 .
  • the movement direction of the top rails 16 , 18 with regard to the bottom rails 10 , 12 is called the longitudinal direction.
  • the longitudinal direction runs parallel to the driving direction F.
  • the top rails 16 , 18 can therefore be displaced in the driving direction F and counter to the driving direction F. It is also conceivable to arrange the bottom rails 10 , 12 in an oblique or inclined manner with respect to the driving direction F. In this case, the top rails 16 , 18 can be displaced in an oblique or inclined manner with respect to the driving direction F.
  • the bracket 30 rests on the top rails 16 , 18 and is fastened to them.
  • a seat shell (not shown here) is mounted on the bracket 30 .
  • the bracket has the shape of a flat plate which extends substantially in the longitudinal direction and in a direction which runs perpendicularly with respect thereto and is called the transverse direction.
  • the bracket 30 experiences a displacement in the longitudinal direction.
  • a direction which runs perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction and perpendicularly with respect to the transverse direction is called the vertical direction in the following text.
  • the bracket 30 has a hole 32 , through which a pivot pin 22 protrudes which is fastened to the second top rail 18 .
  • the bracket 30 is therefore mounted on the second top rail 18 such that it can be rotated about the center axis of the pivot pin 22 .
  • the bracket 30 has a first recess 34 , through which a first pin 24 protrudes which is fastened to the first top rail 16 .
  • the first recess 34 has the shape of a straight slot which runs in the transverse direction and has a width which corresponds to the diameter of the first pin 24 .
  • the first recess 34 can also extend obliquely with respect to the transverse direction. Another design, for example a curved design, is also conceivable.
  • the bracket 30 has a second recess 36 , through which a second pin 26 protrudes which is fastened to the second top rail 18 .
  • the second recess 36 has the design of a slot in the form of a circular segment with a width which corresponds to the diameter of the second pin 26 .
  • the radius of said circular segment corresponds to the spacing of the center axis of the pivot pin 22 from the center axis of the second pin 26 .
  • the bracket 30 has a third recess 38 , through which a third pin 28 protrudes which is fastened to the first top rail 16 .
  • the third recess 38 has the shape of a curved slot with a width which corresponds to the diameter of the third pin 28 .
  • each of the top rails 16 , 18 has in each case one locking device 66 , 68 .
  • the first locking device 66 the first top rail 16 can be locked to the first bottom rail 10 .
  • the second looking device 68 the second top rail 18 can be locked to the second bottom rail 12 .
  • both locking devices 66 , 68 can be unlocked together and at the same time in a known way by means of an unlocking unit.
  • the vehicle seat 1 has an unlocking handle 64 which is connected via in each case one Bowden cable to the locking devices 66 , 68 .
  • both locking devices 66 , 68 are therefore unlocked and the top rails 16 , 18 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the respective bottom rail 10 , 12 .
  • the second top rail 18 has a main memory apparatus 58 which will be described in greater detail later.
  • the first top rail 16 likewise has an additional memory apparatus 56 which will be described in greater detail later.
  • an actuating handle 54 for joint actuation of the memory apparatuses 56 , 58 is provided.
  • Said memory apparatuses 56 , 58 serve to store a previously set longitudinal position of the top rails 16 , 18 relative to the bottom rails 10 , 12 .
  • a memory apparatus of this type is described, for example, in EP 1 474 308 B1.
  • a spring unit 52 is attached diagonally between the first top rail 16 and the second top rail 18 .
  • the spring unit 52 is mounted in each case rotatably in the front region in the driving direction F on the first top rail 16 and in the rear region in the driving direction F on the second top rail 18 .
  • the spring unit 52 is configured as a gas pressure spring which can be blocked and in which a piston rod is guided linearly in the axial direction in a cylinder.
  • other embodiments are also conceivable.
  • the spring unit 52 In the normal driving position, the spring unit 52 is blocked, that is to say the piston rod cannot be moved relative to the cylinder. Upon actuation of the unlocking handle 64 for the longitudinal setting of the vehicle seat 1 , the spring unit 52 remains blocked. Upon actuation of the unlocking handle 64 , the memory apparatus 56 , 58 is reset and the newly set longitudinal position is stored.
  • the center axes of the pivot pin 22 and the pins 24 , 26 , 28 run parallel to one another in the vertical direction.
  • the recesses 34 , 36 , 38 are configured in such a way that, during a displacement of the first top rail 16 relative to the second top rail 18 in the longitudinal direction, a rotation of the bracket 30 about the center axis of the pivot pin 22 is made possible.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vehicle seat 1 according to the invention in a pivoted position of this type.
  • the exemplary embodiment which is shown here is the driver's seat of a left-hand-drive vehicle.
  • a seat cushion 44 is fastened on the bracket 30 , which seat portion 44 has a front end 46 in the longitudinal direction and a rear end 48 in the longitudinal direction.
  • a backrest 50 is arranged in the region of the rear end 48 of the seat cushion 44 .
  • the seat cushion 44 and the backrest 50 form a seat shell 2 . In the driving position, the front end 46 of the seat cushion 44 points approximately in the driving direction and the rear end 48 of the seat cushion 44 points approximately counter to the driving direction.
  • a movement of a top rail 16 , 18 in the direction of the front end 46 of the seat cushion 44 therefore corresponds to a movement approximately in the driving direction F and is called a forward movement in the following text.
  • a movement of a top rail 16 , 18 in the direction of the rear end 48 of the seat cushion 44 corresponds to a movement approximately counter to the driving direction and is called a rearward movement in the following text.
